Blueberry Picking, Well, Ummm Eating

 The girls and I had a great time picking blueberries.  It was a hot day so we didn't last long and we ate more than we brought home but it was fun!

We did learn an important lesson about not letting Kate walk from the bath to her room without a diaper the morning after blueberry picking but I'll spare you the pictures....

Waterpark

Wisconsin Dells is known for its water parks and everyone, especially Grace, was excited to be staying at an indoor water park.  We were excited my grandpa and Brenda stayed one night there also- it was good to see them.  On the way to the pool, we all stopped to say goodbye before they had to leave.

An impromptu dance party broke out in the room for Great- Papa

The waterpark was so fun!  We don't have many pictures since we were in the water :)

We were excited to be able to see our good friends Kristy and Matt and their son Jack.  Not sure why I only took pictures of Jack and Kate other than they are cute :)

We had a great time celebrating my parents' 35th wedding anniversary that night- Happy Anniversary!

The highlight of Grace's trip- sleeping in a bunk bed on the top!

Wisconsin Dells- 4th of July

After the wedding we drove down to a resort in Wisconsin Dells to celebrate my parents 35th wedding anniversary and my brother's 30th birthday!

We weren't at the resort more than 2 minutes when we ran into my dad's brother Stan (just kidding, it was planned :))  It was great to have lunch with his family including my cousins Ryan and Kelly (and Leah who will be having a baby soon!)

We did take a group picture but I need to get that from my Aunt Linda because I apparently didn't take any at lunch :(

 The girls coloring as they waited for our room to be ready

 Kate was soooo tired.  She finally just gave up waiting for a nap

 We were in our room about 5 minutes when Uncle Pat and Aunt Tina showed up- apparently they hadn't had enough of us all weekend :)  And then my grandpa and Brenda came over!

 The next knock on the door was my cousin Greg and his pregnant wife Tracy.

Sarah and I cooked dinner for all these people ;)  It was great fun having everyone over!  I wish we lived closer together so we could do it more often.

 Kate and Aubrey are going to be trouble together one day....

Happy 30th Birthday Roberta! (Sarah and I called Craig Robert that for several years before he realized it was a girl's name- sisters :))

We were all excited to be able to see the 4th of July fireworks from our balcony, even if we had to strain a little.

Teresa and Rick Wedding

We had a great time at my cousin Teresa and her new husband Rick's wedding and reception

The girls loved playing with all my cousins' kids and their own cousins

Dancing (and even dancing before the music started) was a favorite activity

So lucky to be able to dance with the bride!

 "Crazy" Uncle Pat gets crazier with his new hat...

My mom and three of her brothers and their spouses

Once you discover Kiddie Cocktails you can never go back to milk...

These three- Sidor, Grace and Simeon played and played late into the night.  I wish we all lived closer!
Congrats Teresa and Rick!
